AG Brown exercised his constitutional and statutory responsibilities as the State’s chief legal officer to intervene when federal actions threatened Maryland’s funding, public safety infrastructure, environment, healthcare systems, and other essential services, as well as the civil rights of Marylanders. 

“The numbers speak for themselves: investing in the Federal Accountability Unit protects Marylanders’ lives and livelihoods and safeguards the resources our State needs to serve its residents. Our legal victories have preserved billions in funding for Maryland and defended the rights and dignity of all Marylanders – meeting our responsibility to stand up for Maryland when the federal government threatens its pocketbook, its principles, or its people.” – AG Brown
